I remember Uncle James from my youth. Fun, laughing and easy. An uncle to be proud of. I'm sorry I didn't stay in touch. What loving family he had to take such good care of him. The fond memories you've created. God is good. He will be missed. My prayers are with all the family.

Krystal, Pixie, Terin, Jacob and Family..I was sorry to hear your father (grandfather) had passed away. I have thought of you all often this week and hope all of you are doing well. I know you will be there for each other, that I have no doubt. But, if there is anything I can do or Krystal if you would just like a little company, I would love to spend sometime with you and the family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers!! All my love!!

Papa "Toy," you left us way too soon!! I am still trying desperately to grasp the concept that you're not here with us anymore! Hunter and Marissa miss you too!! Marissa keeps saying, "Don't cry, Mom. He's in Heaven now." :) We'll see you again someday, Papa! But until then, keep 'em laughing and entertained up there, I know you will!! :) I LOVE YOU!!!!
